I like the fact that someone is fighting back at Tinubu but the fight is far too big for Ambode. If Ambode is not fit for 2nd term, why is the wife fit for 3rd term in the Senate. I bet he intends making her a lifetime senator.

You may need to query the likes of David Mark that has been serving as senator since 1999 before reviewing Mrs Tinubu

Trash Go and tell you god tinubu to answer the summon from his Fulani masters.

Sophisticated morons

Idiot, the truth dey pain you abi. Despicable nonentity, continue ranting.

blackgold90:
if you failed to feature ambode as governorship candidate, ambode can cause APC Lagos State... If you dare impeach him problem, if you let him be problems... It is really a big problem now. We are Talking of Lagos governor here.



The worse you can do against him is not to let him anoint his candidate when it is time for him to leave after 8yrs but to prevent him not to get the party ticket is risky.

He can single handedly destroy Lagos APC.... APC will beg him to continue just watched.

In a democratic system of government, the governor is a servant of the electorate (people) and should the people decide that the governor's services are no longer required, so be it.

This may not be realistic in other states of Nigeria but so it is, shall be and will be in Lagos and we shall prove it yet again.

That stolen wealth could have done much more for the masses! For instance, someone stole a collective 100 naira and gave out 40 naira to the collective to share. As much as he gave out, but more could have been achieved with the remaining 60 naira

Once again, thank you for your incisive analogy. We will deal with the issue of stolen common wealth when the allegations are proven beyond reasonable doubt. However, Tinubu remains a father, leader, inspiration, authority and friend not a foe to the Yoruba race, especially patriotic Lagosians.

stanluiz:
Leave igbos out of your madness.
Your Fulani masters have summoned your demi god tinubu in abuja so he should better respect his masters or face the consequences

Afonjas are fools

If Afonjas are fools, what does that make you especially going by the generally conceived weekness, indiscipline and cowardice of your tribe?

statusquoante:
You see, Tinubu is overrated.
Even in 2015, he couldn't deliver more than 55% despite having the support of the sitting governor.

Tinubu has nothing to prove to you or anybody, especially those who only intend to use him to achieve selfish, greedy and unpatriotic intentions.

He can not be assessed on the basis of votes he can or should deliver to your unholy association of unpatriotic folks

yourstruly123:
Tinubu is a very useless vagabond. Smelly tin. Infact all yorubas smell alot. Dirty pigs. Huhh!!!

May thunder fire you and your failed generarion. Orue! You are a nonentity and so you shall remain.

Shayetet13:
A better thief you mean? A better thief who used your common wealth to make himself super rich

Thank you brother, we appreciate our very own who is not a saint but is empatethic, caring, willing to assist, exceptional leader, democratic and ultimately invests in the society (Nigeria), where his alleged stolen wealth was obtained, unlike the lots of rich thieves in Nigeria.

statusquoante:
If Tinubu were smart, he wouldn't have gone into a confrontation with Ambode knowing that Abuja would gladly cash in on it just to wreck him politically.

What a mistake! Lagos is going to be free though...

There is no mistake committed by Tinubu - his actions are well thought, planned and coordinated. Let Abuja powers test the waters in Lagos if they are bold and strong enough.

I am not very fanatical about Tinubu however, I have chosen to stand by him this time because we can read between the lines. Ambode is just a pawn in the game they are orchestrating and unfortunately, Ambode is a learner in the game of thrones in Nigerian politics.

dyydxx:
fake news. why is this sosanova always posting fake news hyperventilating on Ambode matter like you have a vote. You are neither an APC member no do you live in Lagos yet Tinubu matter will not let you rest. smh

Sosanova has strong issues against Tinubu and he has become very sentimental about it. Anyway, you will know more about Tinubu soon, especially on this matter. Ambode confirmed his loss of control a long time ago and his fate was sealed yesterday - never to return as governmor of Lagos.

As for Sosanova, you can hate or admire Tinubu but note that you can never have a greater politician and personality in your tribe or generation.

Wonderful!

The only 'saint' in the evil party called apc. I have a dream that 2019 will be a year of power to the masses.
Buhari, a good man with bad intentions.

Who made him a saint? You!

Kingsley1000:
If she is a nigerians,we would have been tagged her a hoe...sex is an intergral part of human life,it's very pertenient in our survival,let's stop concealing our sexuality...we are all HYPOCRITES

But she is a hoe anyway

2gb all the way!

Kanyal:
Dear Nairalanders, let me just go straight to the point, I'm Married and currently with my wife, she is presently 3 months pregnant, and from day one we found out she's pregnant till date, she doesn't allow we have sex with her because she is not feeling fine, we both sleep naked as usual with a great urge in me to do it, but I can't even ask her because the last time I didn't her response was that I'm not been considerate, that despite her condition all my interest is sex, I've endured this for three months, and right now I'm been tempted to cheat, what do I do

Go ahead with what you contemplate to exhaust your sexual urge

Precide:
In as much as the declaration is in line with the constitution, it's OK by me. Nobody should wade into this matter with emotions and sentiments

You dey craze! So after spending so much funds, resources and time, we should do the drill again. May God punish every one that inspired and declared the Osun election inconclusive

The honest truth is that it is too late to get Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to change his mind on this development otherwise he will set the stage for another Obasanjo/Atiku feud (Atiku's greatest mistake was to back down and stop the moving train taking him instead of Obasanjo into the position of President in 2003) that translated to his undoing and persecution till today.

With all due respect to Ambode, I posit that he has been excellent in office and the best governor, in terms of achievements, among his peers. However, this bickering has gone too far; the relationship between Tinubu and Ambode is becoming toxic and Ambode needs to protect what is left of it. Tinubu can no longer back down because the discord has been building up for a long time especially among his followers, majority of the stakeholders in APC (Lagos) seem to want Ambode out hence the position of Tinubu.

The danger for Tinubu now - if he can change his mind and support Ambode, it will be a decision he will live to regret and may become his undoing. Ambode will be brutal in revenge and Tinubu can't risk that development. The direct primary will translate to humiliation for Ambode hence, I will suggest he can get a confirmation of Tinubu's choice for governor, wave an olive branch at the choice person and throw in the towel to allow them have their way.

So, Ambode must go! Howver, there is an auspicious career for Ambode in politics outside Lagos state. His life and peace is more important and this is not one of those battles to pick.

Tinubu! Love him or hate him. He is a wonderful and excellent politician. In this age, we must give credit to politicians that advocate and practice direct primaries - all contestants should be encouraged to test their popularity.

Linda could not find her man among the lot of single and unmarried men out there but could settle for another woman's husband.

Hmmmm.

Based on my knowledge of law, I think this case is null and void abinitio because the crime occured in Offa so charging an accused to court in Lugbe, FCT-Abuja is an abuse of court proceedures.

EmagNig:
The winner of 1993 presidential election, Chief MKO Abiola's son, Abdulmumuni Abiola, has said the country is not ripe for a youth president.

Abiola told journalists at the maiden national youth summit organised by The Zealous Kwara Youths in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Saturday, that though he was hopeful that a youth could become president someday, it was imperative to give President Muhammadu Buhari a second chance, The Punch reports.

He said:

“I do believe that there shall be a time, just like in Canada and France, when we have somebody that is around 30 in power. I don’t just think that time is right. I think there is a reason why Buhari is there and I would want us to be patient to see him through.

We should give him another four years and he will handover power to the youth.

“I do not have anybody else to campaign for. Somebody after 20 years honoured my father and did what other people refused to do, so I am supporting Buhari for a second term.”

The President of the ZKY, Mr John Adegboyega, said it was necessary to sanitise Nigeria of corrupt practises.

Adegboyega added that 2019 was not yet time for a youth to become president.

He said the youth should participate actively in the political process and elect people who would deliver good governance and move the country forward.

https://lailasnews.com/nigeria-not-ripe-for-youth-president-mko-abiolas-son/

What is the authority of this boy - son of MKO Abiola - on the subject of governance or politics? Anyway, I will not blame the Abdul boy because he is shallow minded and he probably never understood the minds of the youth.

Wonderful, I am waiting to see how this pans out.

GoTV:
Instead of hiding her shameful pregnancy, this idiotic woman keeps disgracing the institution of marriage by flaunting fornication all over the internet. Upon all the exposure,wealth and years of feminism Linda got impregnated like a garage girl and most people see nothing wrong because she's Linda. No matter how you people paint it, this is fornication and the bible/quran frowns at it. Even her sister Laura respected the scriptures by getting married legally. Pastors kept mute instead of lambasting this misguided hoe considering the huge influence she has on naive young girls who visits her site for mentoring. Even though I'm a born again Christian, i think we Christians commit fornication and adultery the most unlike our Muslim counterparts whose life is guided by the holy tenets of Islam. Organizations like Muric and Co will not sit idle and watch any one denigrate islam but can that be said about we Christians whose hypocrisy stinks to high heavens? In sane countries, she would have been banished for fornication as a deterrent to others but here she's been worshipped because she has money. Hypocrites

I honestly don't understand what your problem with Linda's pregnancy could be. That she chose to be a baby mama, single mother and to fornicate is none of your business.

Besides, now that she fornicated and will become a baby mama, should we kill her or forever punish her or destroy her. She is an adult and owes you no explanation about her life.

Keep your opinion and leave the lady alone.

Let the court decide the cases in which national interest supersedes individual interest. The presidency or executive government should not be the judge in a case whereby govt is in dispute.

Another corrupt and unprincipled man gone rogue and taking refuge in APC to achieve his selfish aim for power and governance: my own opinion anyway.

Nigerians must be wise to understand that the de-camping witnessed among politicians in recent times is due to selfish interest of the politicians.

Wetin make we call this one now?





She's always in the news for weird reasons. Smh.

She is fast becoming bad publicity for the Police Force. She lost professionalism.

Yeye dey smell.

It is a lie.

It is too expensive.

Can someone please report this development to Donald Trump!
